A custom-built home of more than 6,000 finished square feet, framed on every side by mature evergreens that took fifty years to grow into what they are now. Four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and walk-in. Six bathrooms. Designer details throughout by Barnard and Speziale.
Inside, the dining room rises a full two storeys; wainscoted, crowned by a crystal chandelier, anchored by a stone fireplace. Wide-plank hardwood runs from the front door to the back. The family room sits under a coffered ceiling, with custom built-ins flanking a fireplace tiled in penny mosaic and windows that frame the garden year-round.
The kitchen is the working centre of the home. An eight-foot quartz island. A Wolf 5-burner range, Electrolux double ovens, oversized fridge and freezer, integrated wine fridge. Custom cabinetry, with Hunter Douglas blinds throughout the home and designer fixtures and finishes layered in by Designers Barnard and Speziale.
Upstairs, the primary suite reads as its own wing; tray ceiling, panelled feature wall, a chandelier sized for the proportions, and an ensuite and walk-in scaled to match. The three additional bedrooms are generously proportioned and rare in their consistency; each with its own private ensuite, its own walk-in closet, and finishes that hold the standard set by the rest of the home. No shared bathrooms, no smaller-than-the-others bedroom at the end of the hall, no compromises on where the kids land.
The laundry room is its own argument for the house. Oversized, purpose-built, with custom cabinetry running the length of the room, generous counter space for folding, and storage capacity most homes reserve for a pantry. The kind of room that quietly changes how a family runs day-to-day.
The lower level expands what the house can do. A full home gym, properly built out; not a corner of a basement, a dedicated space. A full additional bathroom. An entertainment area scaled for hosting, movie nights, and weekends when the kids have friends over. And storage at a level that solves the problem most homes of this size still don’t; every season's gear, every holiday's bins, every piece of luggage with somewhere to live.
The backyard is what people remember. A massive in-ground pool. A new 2023 cabana with a rooftop waterfall that pours into the pool below. A fire feature. Covered lounge. Pavered patios that stretch the season. The evergreens that wrap the lot, paired with a fully fenced perimeter. And at night, the space transforms. A full landscape lighting system washes the trees, the patios, and the cabana in colour, with the pool lit from within - the entire backyard transforms.
Then there's the garage - at this house, that's not a throwaway sentence. Three-car capacity, configured as a two-car bay with a tandem third behind it, and built to be one of the rooms rather than an afterthought attached to one. Full-glass overhead doors front and back let light pour through the space and turn the cars into part of the architecture. Custom slat-wall systems run the length of the walls, organizing gear, tools, and accessories the way a high-end retail floor would. The flooring is polished and finished to a standard most homes don't apply to their kitchens. A hydraulic four-post lift stores a second car vertically in the tandem bay, doubling the capacity without sacrificing the floor. Recessed lighting overhead is set up gallery-style. For a collector, an enthusiast, or anyone who's ever wished their garage was actually finished, this one was finished twice.
Over 6,000 square feet. Four bedrooms with ensuites and walk-ins. Six bathrooms. A pool, a cabana, a waterfall, a forest. Half an acre on Cedar Avenue. Welcome home.
